Iron Dynasty

In the side hall, the mother and son stood opposite each other.

At this time, Concubine Zhen took Xiao Ming and sat down, and she said, You are a lot more sensible than before, so the concubine will feel at ease, and you will be the emperor soon. From now on, you must consider the overall situation of the world, not for the sake of one person. Selfish, after all, what you hold in your hands is the world.

After a pause, she continued: Now the Great Yu Kingdom is in turmoil and it is at stake. The people of Chang'an City all know that the Great Yu Kingdom Building is going to collapse. Now that your father and emperor have left this mess to you, it really makes you wronged, but Don't blame your royal father, it is rare for him to keep the world from chaos all these years, but in the end he misunderstood King Zhao after all.

Xiao Ming nodded, Concubine Zhen's words are not alarmist, even if he destroys the kingdom of Yan, Liang and Zhao, most of the entire north will be rotten by then, it will take a long time to recover from recuperation, and he will also consume A lot of financial resources to maintain stability in the north.

But even so, war is still unavoidable.

He said: If it is not broken, it will not stand, the boy might make the Great Yu Kingdom change to the sky again.

Concubine Zhen had a smile in her eyes, she originally only wanted Xiao Ming to live a peaceful life in the fief, but now he has taken a completely different path.

But no matter where Xiao Ming goes, she will still support Xiao Ming as before.

After scrutinizing Xiao Ming for a while, she said: In this case, after you ascend the throne, the concubine will discuss the matter of the concubine for you, but there is one more thing that the concubine has to tell you, where will Cui Xueer live after coming here?

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment. He understood that Concubine Zhen was talking about the palace. After all, the palace was too small and crowded to accommodate too many people.

After hesitating for a while, he said: There is no way to do it before ascending the throne, but the boy has decided to build a palace. There is an idle private square in the south of Qingzhou City, and the boy is going to build it there.

In this way, the concubine will feel at ease. This imperial city is not only a resting place for the emperor, but also a place for ministers to work. It is definitely not a child's play. Concubine Zhen reminded.

Xiao Ming nodded. Now the Qingzhou government office is indeed a bit crowded, and many institutions are mixed together. After all, many departments have been added after the political reform, and these departments need separate offices.

Therefore, after considering all the circumstances, he decided to build the Imperial City, which was also a renovation of Qingzhou City. For him, the traditional private square model could no longer meet the needs of industrial development.

Now it is necessary to break the traditional village settlement and establish an urban structure suitable for industrial development.

Moreover, the transformation of the city can also stimulate the development of commerce in Qingzhou, which is three birds with one stone for him.

Briefly said this matter, he left from Concubine Zhen, he needed to inform the construction camp about this matter, and at the same time he also gave the construction camp a plan of the imperial city.

For him, the construction of the imperial city needs to take into account the power problem. After all, if Qingzhou builds a power plant in the future, he does not want the imperial city to be messed up again, so it is better to reserve this part in advance.

In the afternoon, Concubine Zhen officially sent a pardon order to Princess Huainan. This pardon order was naturally about Cui Xue'er. With this pardon order, the matter of Nafei was officially settled.

On the same day, Xiao Ming managed to deal with King Yong and King Huainan at the same time. Although his mood was a little complicated, he was finally relieved, because with the help of the two vassal kings, he would be more relaxed. Ming once again threw himself into the preparations for the enthronement ceremony, and now there is not much time left for his enthronement.

The only thing he is worried about now is the battle in Yunzhou City, because this will determine the future situation in the north.

...

Yunzhou City.

With the influx of the Southern Expedition Army and the Dengzhou Army, soldiers in groups of three or five can be seen everywhere in this small city, and the people in the city also have a premonition that a war is coming, because they have never seen so many soldiers stationed in the city. Yunzhou City,

Even in the battle of Jizhou two years ago, the soldiers in this city were only 30,000 to 50,000.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Yunzhou camp was solemn. Two days ago, Niu Ben arrived here with the seal of the General Zhengxi. Once the general arrived, it also meant that the war was not far away.

There are still three days before His Royal Highness's enthronement ceremony. If His Highness's enthronement ceremony is missed due to the war in Yunzhou City, none of you will be able to bear it, but if you can win a big victory this time, you will definitely judge your merits when you go back. Reward. Niu Ben said loudly.

Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Luo Hong, Qi Guangyi, Bai Mu and other generals were all in the camp, and they exchanged glances with enthusiasm.

After the enthronement ceremony, Xiao Ming will officially become the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, and conquering other vassal kings is tantamount to crusade against rebellion, and after ascending the throne, it must be the promotion of officials and generals.

As the earliest generals who followed Xiao Ming, they were naturally the main force in this promotion, but before that, they had to ensure that the enthronement ceremony could proceed smoothly.

After all, King Yan, King Liang and King Zhao did not want Xiao Ming to ascend the throne, especially King Zhao. Once Xiao Ming ascended the throne, he would lose the advantage of holding the emperor to command the princes.

Three hundred and fifty thousand people, these three vassal kings seem to have the idea of ​​destroying our land. Luo Hong looked at the sand table with a solemn expression, he had never experienced such a large-scale war.

The scouts who went to investigate came back and reported that the army of the three kings was covering the sky and the sun. In addition to the soldiers who directly participated in the battle, there were also long dragon-like people who transported food.

Now the forward of the Three Kings Allied Forces has arrived at Yunzhou City to set up camp, but the follow-up troops are still coming.

Among them, King Zhao's 40,000 cavalry also tried to bypass Yunzhou City and go deep into the hinterland to kill, burn and loot, but they had to give up this plan when the cavalry led by Baimu was besieged and blocked.

Because they find that no matter where they go, they will always be discovered first, and then they will risk no return if they venture further.

We're not afraid of another 350,000. When the time comes, we will pull out all the field guns and smash them into mud. Lu Fei roared.

Luo Xin raised his brows. This time, most of the field guns were gathered in his hands. He was gearing up for a big fight. This time, 90% of Qingzhou's ammunition reserves are here.

Niu Ben frowned, and he said, Your Highness told me before I left that I would do my best to destroy the coalition of the three kings, so this time you don't need to be merciful, you have to fight hard, and this time there are six more Thousands of rifled flintlock guns are installed, but because of the smokeless gunpowder mentioned by His Highness, black powder has to be used temporarily because of the slow production, but even this is enough to defeat King Yan's musketeers.
